Many blessings to you, Klaus, and to your Beloved Family. We send all our love and fondest memories. Shree Maa and Swamiji, Devi Mandir.

I was just thinking of Klaus the other day and how it felt like it might be coming up on his 1 year anniversary. It makes me so sad he is gone and my heart goes out to Ann. Klaus was such a great man, humble, kind, smart, helpful. I miss him very much.

We send all our love and blessings to Ann and the entire family. What a privilege to have had such a friend in our lives!

I can not tell you how sorry I missed the Klaus's memorial service today. I really wanted to be there. Klause was so considerate and full of surprises. When I was young, I always though of Klaus of just liked symphonies and operas, but he surprised me one day by asking if he had bought the Beatle's White Album yet. His taste in music and all things in life was deserve; he had a open mind willing to try new things like when he took a healing class. KLaus may have looked conservative, but he...

My husband, Brian, and I were fortunate to meet Klaus and Ann at their niece's birthday celebration. We sat with them and had such a pleasant evening of interesting conversation. My husband and he found a common interest in math and he and Ann were invited to attend a math function at SCU that my husband was sponsoring. We met again at another Nuno gathering and once again, both Klaus and Ann were so welcoming and genuine with their attention. He was truly not only a very talented man,...

Klaus had a profound impact on me in so many ways--including stylistics, of course. Mostly, he was such a skillful guide and uplifting colleague. I always looked forward to spending time with him, learning from him, and seeing his kindly countenance. Hard to believe I last saw so him so long ago, when he retired from SRI, but he stays with me the way a great mentor does, shaping how I think about writing and also about how we best care for others while helping them develop new strengths....

I enjoyed our discussions on history and grammar lessons. You will be greatly missed by myself and those who were blessed to know you.

PS: The Acura Integra you sold me provided years of driving for me and was passed down to my younger sister. Thank you!

Klaus was an amazing colleague and was such a wonderful mentor. I worked with him for many years and learned so much from him. He was an excellent teacher and had the patience and kindness to lend help to us all in so many ways beyond his marvelous editing skills. I am blessed for having had the honor of working with him. He will forever be in my memories.

I wish peace for Anne and Steve and the rest of your family. Klaus will be missed by all who were graced by his presence.
